A private chef for your Costa del Sol holiday
More and more guests — especially from the UK — are choosing a private chef over booking restaurants every night. No reservations, no taxis back and forth, and a menu that fits your group exactly. We cook in your holiday villa, apartment or finca, wherever you're staying on the Costa del Sol.
An evening of walking bites by the pool, a live paella on the terrace or a BBQ for the whole family: we agree the menu with you in advance — in English — including children's dishes and any allergies.
From Marbella to Málaga — one point of contact
Our service area runs from Málaga city through Fuengirola, Mijas and Marbella to Estepona and Benahavís. Within this zone there are no travel costs, and you get the same team, the same menus and the same prices.
We communicate in Dutch, English or Spanish — whichever suits you best. Your quote, menu and arrangements come in writing, so nothing is ever unclear.

Frequently asked questions
Can you cook in a rented holiday villa?
Yes — that's most of what we do. All we need is power, water and a workable counter or terrace. There's nothing you need to arrange with the rental company.
How much does a private chef on the Costa del Sol cost?
It depends on the menu, your group size and the location. Request a free, no-obligation quote and you'll quickly receive a tailored proposal — chef, service, tableware and clean-up included.
How far ahead should we book in season?
In July and August we recommend booking 3 to 4 weeks ahead. Outside peak season we can often fit you in sooner — just ask about availability.
Is a private chef more expensive than eating out?
For groups, often not. Ask for a free quote — for a full menu with chef and service, the cost is often comparable to a good restaurant, but in your own villa.
Can you cater for children and allergies?
Yes. We agree the menu in advance and adapt dishes for children, vegetarians and all common allergies.
What if our villa has a small kitchen?
No problem. We work with mobile setups and cook a lot outdoors on the grill or paella burner. A small counter and a power socket are enough.
